July 1 Food Truck News and Schedule for Dallas and Ft. Worth

One of the first Dallas-based food trucks, Nammi Vietnamese, is opening a brick ‘n’ mortar operation. Owners Gary Torres and Teena Ng told us: “We hung our sign in front of our commercial kitchen at Valley View Mall and the tweets start coming in. And everyone thought this mall was dead…” He adds: “It’s actually more of a to-go than a restaurant. We are planning on extending our menu and playing with cold beverages. It’s our little ‘test kitchen’. ”

I know this list looks like an easy task to compile but it isn’t. It takes George a good part if the day contacting the trucks for their schedule and then getting it pulled together for publication. Most trucks are at Klyde Warren Park on Monday lunch. If you have a favorite, we have contact info above and you can check their schedules. George volunteers a great deal of his time to coordinate this. And he’s the best.

I would love to get it posted Monday morning. I rely on input from the food truck owners, and many of them are spending Monday mornings finalizing their weekly schedule. I often don’t get input until 2pm or so to finalize the consolidated spreadsheet.
